    Eh. Males on their own don’t tend to exhibit that behavior. It’s less ignorance and more ape like competitiveness. When you put them together the testosterone compounds and leads to machismo, which results in a bunch of dumb shit.

      This argument is saturated in assumptions and is difficult to swallow.

      The idea of lack of close physical contact promoting bad behaviour is a well studied phenomenon in many areas, including road rage, and online discourse.

        So I actually read the article — you should try it some time — and it literally states males exhibit this behavior due to competitiveness.

        So no, my argument is not saturated in assumptions. It’s saturated in experience, and backed by science.

      There are studies of men growing up with sisters are more likely to act in a woman’s best interest, than the stereotypical macho douchebag persona
